As the Northeast gets battered by a powerful winter storm, Chicago is getting hit by a gentler weather system that could coat parts of the area with an inch or more of snow by Friday.
“There will be mainly light snow that will cause some visibility reduction,’’ said Richard Castro, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The snow will fall, on and off, until the early evening hours with an accumulation of only two tenths of an inch. “There could be an occasional burst of snow in the lakefront areas,’’ Castro said. More light snow is expected Friday. Temperatures will reach only into the 20s or lower 30s both days.
“Some places could possibly see over an inch,’’ Castro said. “It’s going to feel like winter.’’
A storm that swept through the South earlier this week brought snow to inland parts of the Northeast and driving rain and wind to areas along the coast Thursday.
The storm, which was blamed for nine deaths, pushed through the Upper Ohio Valley and made its way into the Northeast Wednesday night. By Thursday morning, there was anywhere from a few inches of snow to a foot in some locations
